1. In a large bowl, place ¼ cup of water. Sprinkle the packet of gelatin evenly over the top. Set aside for a few minutes. 2. In a small pot, bring ¾ cup of water and sugar to a boil. Stir well, so the sugar dissolves completely. Once the water comes to a hard boil, add it to the gelatin mixture. Stir well to completely dissolve the gelatin. 3. Once dissolved, add the milk and almond extract, stirring gently. Pour the mixture into a rectangular container. Refrigerate until firm.4. Once the jelly is set, slice into ½-inch cubes, scoop out gently and serve with lychee in a light syrup.
